When I started writing today, it was Day #8 of NaBloPoMo… If you haven’t already, you should go check the
hundreds of entries on BlogHer. Just click on the NaBloPoMo badge on the right.

Today as I was clicking around on Facebook, I was watching some Hallmark
movie about love. A love that was abandoned and later revisited. You know how
it all goes. :-)That’s when the thought hit me. How many of
us had a deep crush (or two) on a classmate?A person’s name you secretly doodled in your notebook, paired your first
name with his last name and probably even planned your dream wedding. lol Have
you ever walked away from a relationship and later wondered what if you’d
stayed?

With the advent of Facebook and all the other social media networks, you
could actually peek into that person’s life now. What would you find? Would it
bring up regrets? Would you realize you dodged a bullet? :-)
If you’re both available, do you want to take a chance to see if love will blossom?

“Regrets are the things we do that we wish we hadn't done and the
things we fail to do that we wish we had done…” [Dr. Mark Muchnick] Regrets can occur in any area of our lives not just love.
For happiness sake, I try to examine all my decisions carefully and attempt to
keep fear at bay in order to face life boldly! My motivation? To not wake up one day with a list of regrets.

Interestingly enough, I found this article on regrets and happiness. You
should check it out. The Regret Factor: How It Impacts Our Happiness Also, if you’ve been doing some “recon” on an old love or
a school crush, how would you answer the questions above? This should be fun! :-)

As a counselor, it is to empower you to access your full potential and live more authentically!

As a poet, it is to share words to inspire love, deliverance from hurtful situations and encourage a renewed relationship with God.

As a speaker, it is to provide a dynamic experience which will actively engage you and your group in learning and growing.

My professional background includes over 14 years as a Career Counselor providing education planning and career guidance. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and National Board Certified Counselor with a Master’s degree in Psychology. My publications include After the Sixth Day: Notes from a Spiritual Journey and Pain is Fertile Ground—poetry collections focused on spiritual awakening and growth.

On a more personal note, the southern lady that I am loves to cook (have you seen my Pinterest board?) and have fun with my family! Are there any two things that bring more joy to a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl raised in the south)? Lol

I hope we stay connected because new ventures are on the way to enlighten your mind and to partner with you to chart a course for your success!
